10 wins in 20 games for invasion mode? Well, let's see how it will work out for pugs.

I already got the K2 and a Mad Dog is not worth switching faction over. Oh well.

I don't think you need to switch sides to get it though.

I think it's going to be like it used to be before, you'll get a choice which mech you want.
I for one will take a more expensive one and sell it for C-bills, hahaha

The last FW-event made me take an extended break from the game. But I'm only a few paltry LPs away from a promotion, so I might fill in a spot or two.
Although, with the new Steiner/Davion-alliance now going up against the clans, we can reassert our claim to Terra; the cradle of humanity was rightly in Free Worlds-space before Comstar went and mucked it up.

CJF vs All the houses?

Seems fair.

Bring it on.

=D

Without orientation arrows on a minimap? GL HF to all pugs.

The second FP-event after Long Tom and the second event that will take place without me.
First round lost the first three mech because of artillerie. As long as long tom is in this game i will ignore FP.

Community Warfare is still pretty painful to play. Fix the game mode and we'll talk, otherwise ... there aren't enough rewards to entice me to play CW.

Great! Another event!

But...you know...I already have a Mastered Nova...and a Mastered Crab...and a Mastered Timber Wolf.

The grand prizes are just standard variants...not champions. Champion and Loyalty variants are much more attractive; these grand prizes I could just buy with C-Bills and skip the entire competition. :/

Cool. With PUG-diversity, there is a good chance every dirty Clan Scouting team is not packed full of Stormcrows. Bring it on!

[invernomuto]

Nova and Mad Dog here I come eheheh

[Deathlike]

If you're doing the event solely to get the mechbay and sell stuff, then the Clan mechs are the better option to be sold.

Ironically, the Nova and Catapult are the beneficiaries of this rescaling (Maddog is still squishy, despite bending a little more), and are the optimal picks.

I have a gripe about the scouting victories needed. You need 20 and you need 50 match score to qualify. That means you throw tactics on the ground stomp on it and light it on fire. I can out collect and get to the drop ship without firing a shot. My match score...12. Let all play styles have their day and drop the 50 score requirement.

Scouting match scores req's dropped by almost 50%

Its almost like they listened!



Ok you seasoned vets, you are going to drop with pugs and noobs. Deal with it, try to make them better, it is to your benefit.

Agreed. Wasnt there like a 30, 50 won matches needed in the last big event? I remember that was quite the grindy challenge for just completing the Invasion part and getting my Warhawk
This time the grinding seems alot less, and thats encouraging.

20 are not bad and as far as I can remember the needed match score was like 80 for scouting and 150 for Invasion last time.

well, just pointing out here that there is not a single planet that can be attacked from the IS side. So if you play IS you can either defend or don't play the event...

It's not that I want to complain about it... ok I do want to. defending puts you in disadvantage so grinding 10 wins in pug against bigger teams is kinda harsh to be true...

[MaxFool]

There are other factions in IS besides Davion.

[Sagamore]

This is brutal. Waiting almost 20 minutes in queue on one of the only contested planets. One of 3 IS groups queued up "Waiting for Match". Where are the Clans?

[Husker Dude]

Man, I'm extra glad right now that my unit's contract just expired and that we're back on FRR instead of Liao. It was hard getting good matches last week, it would have been really unpleasant during an event. There really should be open attack lanes far each of the factions for the event.

[S_T_R_A_N_G_E]

One day PGI will get that the map locations do not have to literally translate to FW matches... basically grouping IS vs Clans against each other and allowing for civil attacks as well... will fix the problem... with planets being awarded based on wins

Why should we have to luck out and get a good contract for an event like this? It might make more sense to reset all merc contracts for events like this.
